The First Step to Healing

I understand the weight of grief you're carrying. The pain can be overwhelming. It's natural to want to avoid it.

I understand the weight of grief you're carrying. The pain can be overwhelming. It's natural to want to avoid it.

But what I've learned, through both experience and scientific research, is that avoiding your pain can cause more suffering in the long run than experiencing the pain itself. When grief remains unlistened to, it continues to echo within you.

This meditation offers a safe space to gently turn toward your pain with compassion, allowing whatever needs to be felt to emerge naturally.

We’ll take this step together. You don't have to do this alone.

"This was one of the hardest things I've done, but also the most healing. I was so scared to face what I was feeling, but this meditation taught me to be with my pain with compassion, instead of running from it.

I finally felt the grief move through me, like water, no longer stuck and stagnant. The relief was immense."

If you would like more support, I'm here for you

You've just done something incredibly brave. I know it takes courage to face your grief, and I want you to know I see that strength.


I'm here to hold your hand through every step of this journey. You don't have to carry this weight alone.

Research shows our ability to heal is directly connected to the level of support we receive. Yet sadly, nowadays, most of us don't have the support we need to process these deep emotions.

That's why I created the Grief Works Programme to make sure you have compassionate, expert support, that you can trust to walk you through this journey. We're here for you.
